Space Marine Terminators

These have been a long time coming. I assembled them last year (or was that the year before?) and since then they've been sitting in a box, patiently biding their time. After Russ wiped the floor with me using his birthday Orks a couple of weeks back it became quite clear that their time had come. Cometh the ass towelling, cometh the man in silly power armour apparently...

First up is a unit of five Assault Terminators with a mix of weapons. As my divergent chapter is half Dark Angels and half Blood Angels I decided these chaps should be sort of Deathwing-esque. I'm fairly chuffed with the colour scheme on these ones. It was a bit hit and miss whilst in progress but they came out well in the end.

And secondly a unit of common garden variety Terminators in Blood Angel colours...

Lastly here's a close up of the two commanders...

In total this gives me three units of five so I can switch them about depending on opponent, game size and scenario.

Not so much difficult as time consuming. About 90 minutes a piece I think but that's not an exact figure by any means. Half the time was spent highlighting, highlighting some more and then highlighting yet again which unfortunately doesn't come out so well in my photos.

About Evan

I am a secondary contributor to the C&G blog, a long-time gamer (war-, board- and role-playing), a sporadic painter and modeller, recovering tartan addict, and now a grandfather. My life as a wargamer began nigh on 40 years ago, when I stumbled upon the local library’s Featherstone collection. This was the gateway for any number of associated hobbyesque interests, upon which I now blog from time to time...
